Do not attempt to disassemble the camera. In order
to prevent electric shock and fire hazard, do not
remove screws or covers. There are no userserviceable parts inside.

Introduction
This CCD video camera produces fully interlaced monochrome
television pictures, according to the CCIR standard.
The high light sensitivity of the camera means that it can even be
used very effectively under twilight conditions. The camera is also
sensitive to infrared light. It accepts a wide range of different supply
voltages, AC as well as DC. If an AC power source is used the
camera is automatically iine-locked.
Connecting the camera
Power supply
The camera must be powered by using a separate, galvanically
isolated, AC or DC power supply unit. The AC input voltage may
vary from 12V to 28V (50Hz). The DC input voltage may vary from
10V to 39V. Use a power supply which meets the requirements for
SELV service, according to DIN/VDE 0860/05.89 or EN 60742 only.
The power supply is connected to the camera via a three pole
screw block. The three entry ports for the wiring are on the rear of
the unit. Access to the fixing screws is gained via three holes on the
underside of the unit.
Connect the power leads to (D) and (E), fig. 1.
For DC supply: (D) is - and (E) is + voltage. An extra safety ground
connection is provided, (F) fig. 1, to connect the camera to ground
potential. The maximum voltage between the supply inputs (D) and
(E) and the safety ground (F) must be less than 50 Volt.
The camera itself is galvanically isolated which makes a system with
more than one camera not susceptible to ground loop problems.

Video output
A Standard VBS video signal is available at the cinch connector, (G)
fig. 1, on the bottom of the camera. The use of a 75 ohm coaxial
cable is recommended, for example RG-59/U.
Synchronization
The camera generates a Videosignal with synchronization pulses
corresponding to the CCIR-standard. The camera can be used
alone or as a part of a larger system. Synchronizing more cameras
is possible when an AC power source is used.
When several video cameras share the same video recorder
equipment, the video recording will be unsynchronized for a period
of time after switching from one camera to another. On the monitor
this is seen as rolling of the video image.
This effect can be avoided by locking the camera to the locai line
frequency: linelock. For this reason the camera is already locked to
the local line frequency when an AC power source is used. The
Vphase potentiometer, (C) fig. 1, enables a phase adjustment of
the linelock over 240 degrees.
The lens
Your camera is equipped with an integrated, 4 mm, f/2.0 lens,
(A) fig. 1, with a viewing angle of 74“ horizontally and 55“
vertically. The depth of field ranges from 1 metre to infinity.

Warning:
Do not touch the surface of the lens. This could damage the
delicate coating on the surface of the lens. If the lens has to be
cleaned, use special lens cleaning tissue, available at any good
camera store.
Installing the camera
It is advisable to install the camera first and connect it to the
monitor on the spot. It will allow you to properly aim the camera at
the area you want covered while checking the results on the
monitor. When satisfied you can place the monitor in its permanent
position.
The camera is provided with a mounting hole with 1/4“ Whitworth
thread. (B) fig. 1, which makes it possible to mount it on any
camera tripod.
Maintenance tips
Warning: Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to
operate it in wet areas. Do not operate the camera if it
gets wet.
For outdoor applications you should use a protective housing to
shield the camera from rain and snow.
Cleaning. You may clean the exterior of the camera with a damp
and lint-free cloth or chamois. Do not use strong or abrasive
detergents. In case the dirt is hard to remove, use mild detergent
and wipe gently.
